    Smoke Generator

    I bought the smoke daddy magnum pig so I will use the supplied air pump.  you can make an external "mailbox mod" with an amnps.  I believe it works via the heat rises theroy  search for mailbox mod and enjoy.  or do what I did and fork out the cash for a smoke daddy :)

    First time using chunks in my propane smoker

    My experience is the cast iron lid super heats the chunks and chars them. I don't use the lid. I fill with a few chunks and the rest with chips. Sent from my LT30at using Tapatalk 2
